To Great Aunt Rose, We will miss the poker games. How you would win our stash of pennies and nickels only to give them back so we could play some more. With great love and heavy hearts.

Dear Aunt Rose, Such a kind and sweet lady. You were always so good to Brooke and Lisa (and me)-we all loved you dearly. I'll never forget everyone gathering at your house to make Christmas cookies! You will be greatly missed. Deepest sympathies to her boys. She was a wonderful mother and I know you will all miss her terribly.

To Aunt Rose I remember when I was small, And you were kind and sweet. You really haven't changed a bit. You put everyone at ease. I knew that you were thoughtful, And, today, you're still the same. You showed your love to others, And that has never changed. You've always been right there for us In good times and in bad. You laughed with us in happy times And cried with us in sad. You've always been a special aunt, As special as can be. More than that-you've been a friend, A cherished friend to me. Love your Ricky Roo
